Shoring Services in Utah & Arizona | Hark Drilling
When a project requires excavation, whether you're breaking ground on a commercial high-rise, a basement structure, or a major infrastructure job, controlling what happens to the earth around it is just as critical as what happens below it. That's what shoring services are all about.
At Hark Drilling, we've spent over 20 years delivering shoring and earth retention solutions across the Intermountain West. From Salt Lake City to Phoenix and everywhere in between, our crews understand the soil conditions, geological quirks, and regulatory environments that define successful projects in this region.
What Shoring Services Cover
Shoring is the structural support system that stabilizes soil and surrounding structures during and after excavation. Whether you're dealing with loose desert sediment in Arizona or the layered rock and clay profiles common throughout Utah, the right earth retention systems make the difference between a project that proceeds on schedule and one that doesn't proceed at all.
As an experienced shoring contractor, Hark Drilling provides solutions that are engineered to fit your site, not off-the-shelf approaches that may not account for local conditions.
Our Shoring & Earth Retention Solutions
We offer a comprehensive range of shoring services tailored to commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects:
Soldier Pile & Lagging: A versatile retaining wall system ideal for urban excavations with tight lot lines or congested utilities
Soil Nail Walls: A cost-effective approach to slope stabilization and earth retention using passive reinforcement
Shotcrete: Pneumatically applied concrete for slope facing, wall construction, and ground support
Micropiles: High-capacity, small-diameter piles suited for restricted access or underpinning applications
Tiebacks & Rock Anchors: Used to provide lateral support to shoring walls and retain both soil and rock faces
Underpinning: Strengthening and stabilizing existing foundations impacted by adjacent excavation
Ground Modification: Improving in-place soil conditions prior to or during excavation
These systems are often used in combination. A basement excavation in a dense urban block, for example, may call for soldier piles with tiebacks and shotcrete facing, all coordinated under one crew.
Trench Shoring Services & Excavation Support
For projects involving deep utility work, pipeline installation, or site development, trench shoring services protect both workers and adjacent infrastructure. Our teams are equipped to address a range of excavation depths and soil classifications, applying the appropriate soil stabilization methods for each condition.
A Shoring Company Built for the Intermountain West
Our offices in Salt Lake City, UT, and Phoenix, AZ, position us to respond efficiently to projects across Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming. We're familiar with the geological profiles that characterize each region, from expansive clays and caliche in the Southwest to the rocky, variable terrain throughout the mountain states.
